National Philoptochos President Aphrodite Skeadas Extends Greetings for Christmas and the New Year
"...the Navity provides reason and hope for our existence and the Ladies Philoptochos Society understands for 80 years the message while serving those in need. You strive to make real this divine proclamation of the birth and love of Christ every time you feed the hungry, clothe the naked, comfort the brokenhearted, support the Church ministries and offer your time to raise-up those who have fallen.
Beloved Sisters in Philoptochos, 2000 years after the birth of Jesus, your acts of charity bring light into the darkness just as the voice of the angel brougt light into the darkness to the shepherds that first Christmas night."
